Samsung BD-UP5000 Network Setup help! - Blu-ray Forum

chas-w · 07-01-2009, 05:36 AM

Hello all-

I have a Samsung BD-UP5000 player that is BD Live capable, but I don't have an network connection near where the player is located. I do have a wireless router, so I bought a game adapter that I understood would replicate a network connection.

I have the game adapter working correctly (as far as I can tell) and it appears to be talking to my router, and I've connected the player to the adapter, but I'm still not able to see any BD Live content. I don't think I have the settings right on the player.

Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong? The network settings for the player are asking for DHCP (on or off), IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DNS (manual or Auto) and Primary and Secondary DNS.

I know a little bit about computer networking, but this has me stumped!

Thanks!

-Charlie

Not to sound rude,...

... but does the BD you are trying to play HAVE BD Live content ?

Yes, when I click the "BD Live" button on the menu, I get a message that the player is not connected to a network. I've tried it with several discs, and get the same message on all of them.

Had to ask

There is a thread already started about wireless hookups,.... kind of a how to and the problems involved. I did a quick look see,... but can't find it quickly,... and I have to run. Do a search through the forum on wireless networking. In most cases I've found the router to be at fault,.... but not always. There are some adapters that work better than others.

Good luck,... the BD P5000 is an excellent player.

Yeah, I did a search and found lots of threads about PS3 networking, but nothing that helped for what I needed.

What you need is a spool of CAT6.

The BD-UP5000 is not a BD-Live capable player now

chas-w · 07-03-2009, 03:21 PM

So it used to be BD Live capable and now it isn't? Why would they do that?

Is your router setup for DHCP and have you setup the gaming adapter for wireless (w/ the correct encryption and key)? What router and gaming adapter do you have? Have you tried connecting a laptop/computer to the gaming adapter and does it successfully connect to the internet? If not, then the gaming adapter isn't setup properly.

EDIT: As far as I can tell, the Samsung BD-UP5000 was never released as a Profile 2.0 (BD-Live) player. Did Samsung ever release a firmware update to make this player 2.0 compliant?

It never had BD-Live and no source indicates it ever will be capable since it has never been confirmed whether it has the necessary 1gig of storage. I've had this machine for over a year now and kept track of all updates.
